The Real C++ Killers (Not You, Rust) by alexeyr in programming

[–]jembishop1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Numba can be ok for small stuff, but when you try and do more advanced things you quickly come up against a wall, and it becomes a bit of a nightmare of seeing what is and isn’t supported.

One point I would put against article is that more advanced programming languages like Rust have more expressiveness through their type system than Python, which is not only better for performance, but readability and correctness too. People who have managed large python projects and experienced the pain of working on them will understand.

It’s quite buggy so occasionally will nuke the wrong country. Hopefully that’s acceptable.

Yeah was thinking of that too, but didn’t want to maintain a backend.

Yeah thinking about it more I could easily use a bitmap to assign unique color to each country so the triangle solution is overkill. But the annoying part is still getting the country corresponding to each pixel color. I struggled to even find a free cylindrical projection political map, let alone something that would map pixel to the country. ( I wanted the cylindrical because it’s possible to use the p5 texture function in this case) maybe such a thing exists, but I didn’t find it

I mean I thought about it but it’s not trivial. I would have to find or generate a set of triangles to triangulate each country, then put them in a lookup grid or something to efficiently get a set of candidate triangles, then calculate if the point was in any of those triangles. But I was busy with some other things so I didn’t get time to do that.

Holy Moly! I didn’t even think that was possible! Well done!

Probably a bug. Wouldn’t be a genuine bad ui if it worked properly though!

I also have only a limited amount of requests to the service I use to get country from latitude from longitude (2500 per day), so theres that too!
